Miss Hirsch's piano accomplishments
during the entire performance were such
as those for which this lady is well known.
Prof Beach proved himself an artist on
the violin Miss Esther Drukkee. as an
elocutionist, is too well known to need in
dividual comment here. She Outranked
her previous effort. Misses Phoebe Gold
berg and Rosa Shlessinger touched the
ivory keys of the piano with ease and
grace. The sweet singing of Miss Lille
Drukker formed a delightful part Of the
program.
The second part Of the program was no
less interesting than the first, and the his
tronic talent,of each participant was highly
commented upon by the audience. Lack
Of space alone prevents a sketch of the
separate scenes. David Levy made an ideal
Brown, and played the part to perfec-
ton. On entering he was greeted with
applause. His mimicry and pOntomine
performance in the second act furnished
entertainment in itself, and kept the au-
dience fairly couvulsed with laughter
Levy was great.
Miss Solomon, as Matilda Dix, played
her part very acceptably.
Miss Negbaur as a literary lady, was full
of Spencer, Shakespeare, Byron etc. She
assumed her role admirably. Miss Hano-
Yer, as widow Barnarby was a great sue
cess. Miss Lille Duk ker as the village
coquete was realistic. well suited for the
part, and was perfectly at ease on the
stage. Miss Phoebe Goldberg showed her
self to be model housekeeper. The en-
tertainment was an artistic and financial
success. The program on the whole, was
exceedingly well carried out, and the per-
formances of those who took part far sur
passed the most sanguine expectations of
the audience. Everybody was satisfied
and expressed the wish that the society
would soon give another literary treat.
The society takes this means of publicly
expressing their thanks to Mr.. and Mrs.
Wailenstein for the unbounded hospitality
shown them Sunday evening, and also to
Mr. NJ S.sDrukker for the kind use of his
piano.
After the performance the young folks
were royalty entertained at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. S. Drukkee on North
Waco,
Where dancing, singing, merriment and
glee,
Closed the first entertainment of the NJ.
